            <p><span><span><span><span><span><span>1. Over the years
                          there have been various expressions of
                          frustration with the <dfn title="Internet
                            Governance Forum">IGF</dfn> supposedly being
                          just a “talk shop” that does not take binding
                          decisions.  But this is an essential part of
                          the <dfn title="Internet Governance Forum">IGF</dfn>’s
                          DNA, as it is what governments and
                          stakeholders at the 2005 Tunis <dfn
                            title="World Summit on the Information
                            Society">WSIS</dfn> summit thought was
                          needed and what they could agree to.  To set
                          the stage for our discussion, please reflect
                          on the considerations and processes that
                          shaped the fundamental features of the <dfn
                            title="Internet Governance Forum">IGF</dfn>’s
                          design and made it what it has become today.</span></span></span></span></span></span></p>
            <p><span><span><span><span><span><span>2.  The <dfn
                            title="Internet Governance Forum">IGF</dfn>
                          Mandate approved by the 2005 Tunis <dfn
                            title="World Summit on the Information
                            Society">WSIS</dfn> summit included
                          provisions stating that the <dfn
                            title="Internet Governance Forum">IGF</dfn>
                          should “Promote and assess, on an ongoing
                          basis, the embodiment of <dfn title="World
                            Summit on the Information Society">WSIS</dfn>
                          principles in Internet Governance processes;”
                          and “Identify emerging issues, bring them to
                          the attention of the relevant bodies and the
                          general public, and, where appropriate, make
                          recommendations.”  To what extent has the <dfn
                            title="Internet Governance Forum">IGF</dfn>
                          pursued these objectives?  What has been
                          achieved or not regarding these functions, and
                          why?</span></span></span></span></span></span></p>
            <p><span><span><span><span><span><span>3.  The global
                          Internet governance agenda has evolved
                          significantly over the past sixteen years,
                          with many of the issues and political dynamics
                          that animated early IGFs drifting from center
                          stage while new ones came to the fore.  What
                          have been the key shifts in substantive focus
                          and institutional dynamics over the course of
                          the <dfn title="Internet Governance Forum">IGF</dfn>’s
                          history to date?</span></span></span></span></span></span></p>
            <p><span><span><span><span><span><span>Part II – Present
                          dynamics</span></span></span></span></span></span></p>
            <p><span><span><span><span><span><span>1.  Name one positive
                          change or achievement that you feel can be
                          attributed to the <dfn title="Internet
                            Governance Forum">IGF</dfn>. Is there
                          anything significant that might have turned
                          out differently if we had not had the <dfn
                            title="Internet Governance Forum">IGF</dfn>?</span></span></span></span></span></span></p>
            <p><span><span><span><span><span><span>2. Has the <dfn
                            title="Internet Governance Forum">IGF</dfn>
                          altered the global discourse or debate in any
                          significant ways? How much does such discourse
                          and soft norms matter, relative to negotiated
                          formal agreements?</span></span></span></span></span></span></p>
            <p><span><span><span><span><span><span>3.  The <dfn
                            title="Internet Governance Forum">IGF</dfn>
                          has spawned new collaborative processes that
                          work on an intersessional basis and then feed
                          into the meetings, e.g. the policy networks,
                          the <dfn title="National and Regional IGF
                            Initiatives">NRIs</dfn>, the DCs and the
                          BPFs.  Have these efforts yielded any
                          important results? What could be done to
                          increase their salience? What roles could they
                          play going forward as the landscape of
                          Internet governance and digital cooperation
                          continues to evolve?</span></span></span></span></span></span></p>
            <p><span><span><span><span><span><span>4.  How has the
                          multistakeholder approach worked in the <dfn
                            title="Internet Governance Forum">IGF</dfn>?
                          Is it continuing to develop conceptually and
                          practically, or has it stagnated? If it has,
                          what can be done to renew it?</span></span></span></span></span></span></p>
            <p><span><span><span><span><span><span>Part III:
                          Futures/Options</span></span></span></span></span></span></p>
            <p><span><span><span><span><span><span>1.  There have been
                          various calls, including from high-level
                          government figures, for the <dfn
                            title="Internet Governance Forum">IGF</dfn>
                          to produce more tangible outcomes.  What forms
                          could these take? What would be needed for the
                          international community to agree to such a
                          process and outcome?</span></span></span></span></span></span></p>
            <p><span><span><span><span><span><span>2.  With regard to
                          the United Nations’ Roadmap and Common Agenda,
                          what roles and value-added do you see for the
                          <dfn title="Internet Governance Forum">IGF</dfn>? 
                          Do you see a specific role of the <dfn
                            title="Internet Governance Forum">IGF</dfn>
                          with regard to the proposed Global Digital
                          Compact?</span></span></span></span></span></span></p>
            <p><span><span><span><span><span><span>3.  What is your view
                          of the terms of reference for the new
                          Leadership Panel (formerly referred to as the
                          MHLB)? How can we make this a useful
                          grouping?  What about the <dfn
                            title="Multistakeholder Advisory Group">MAG</dfn>,
                          do its terms of reference and functioning need
                          to change? </span></span></span></span></span></span></p>
            <p><span><span><span><span><span><span>4. Proposals have
                          been made for the <dfn title="Internet
                            Governance Forum">IGF</dfn> Secretariat and
                          <dfn title="Multistakeholder Advisory Group">MAG</dfn>
                          to work collaboratively on a multi-year plan.
                          Do you think this is feasible? How would you
                          go about developing and implementing such a
                          plan?</span></span></span></span></span></span></p>
            <p><span><span><span><span><span><span>5.  Name one aspect
                          of how the <dfn title="Internet Governance
                            Forum">IGF</dfn> operates that you would
                          change, and one aspect you would like to
                          retain.</span></span></span></span></span></span></p>
